Situating African FinTech in Global Financial Networks
Short Abstract This paper explores the geographical patterns of firm creation and investments in African FinTech and how they have evolved since the emergence of FinTech on the continent. Our findings show waves of investment, specialisation of different FinTech centres and the networks of FinTech capital.

Three new atomic/molecular layer deposition processes are developed for Co‐organic thin films using a promising all‐nitrogen‐coordinated cobalt precursor. The study examines film growth, reaction mechanisms, chemical stability, and decomposition pathways of the resulting films through extensive characterization techniques and DFT calculations ...

Telomere dynamics in ectotherms remain poorly understood relative to endotherms, yet are increasingly relevant in the context of climate change. Here, we used model‐averaged GLMMs and hierarchical partitioning to disentangle intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of relative telomere length in the Western‐Canaries Lizard (Gallotia galloti) across a 10‐year ...

Time‐Division Multiplexing for Parallel Transmission at Ultra‐High Field With Limited RF Channels
ABSTRACT Purpose Investigating time‐division multiplexing for parallel transmission in ultra high‐field imaging, striving for homogeneous whole brain excitation with a limited number of RF channels. Methods A fast RF switch was built to alternately route 8 transmit channels to each row of a double‐row 16‐element transmit coil array at a 9.4 T human MRI

ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate how the relaxation rates (R1, R2) and asymmetry indices (AI), derived from phase‐cycled balanced steady‐state free precession (pc‐bSSFP) data, depend on the orientation of white matter (WM) fiber tracts at different field strengths.

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability
Global food production is increasingly threatened by soil degradation, climate change and the rising costs of synthetic fertilisers. Circular agriculture, which promotes resource reuse, is a promising solution, but using treated wastewater and biosolids in farming introduces risks from emerging contaminants like pharmaceutical residues.

Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

Cross‐sectional electron microscopy reveals that antimonene hexagons exhibited inner defects and protective organic functionalization against oxidation. Temperature and power‐dependent Raman spectroscopy on varying thicknesses of FLA hexagons show that thinner flakes (<20 nm) exhibited a blueshift and intensity decrease, contrasting with the redshift ...
